00:00 Toh Puan Naima Abdul Khalid has failed in her bid to retrieve her passport permanently

00:07 after the Kuala Lumpur High Court dismissed her application on Friday.

00:11 In his dismissal, Justice Ahmad Bacis said there was no injustice in the Sessions Court

00:17 decision when it imposed additional conditions regarding Naima's passport.

00:22 The judge noted that Naima's husband, Tundaim Zainuddin, was also charged at the Sessions

00:27 Court but was allowed to hold on to his passport.

00:30 He said if Naima's passport was released, there was a possibility that both husband

00:34 and wife would go abroad and not return.

00:38 On whether or not the Sessions Court decision had contravened Naima's rights under the

00:42 federal constitution, Justice Ahmad said those rights as a citizen changed after she was

00:47 charged in court.

00:49 Justice Ahmad also said the Sessions Court decision on Naima's passport was valid, fair

00:54 and there was no injustice.

00:56 He also said Naima could liaise with the prosecution if she needed access to her passport in the

01:01 event she wanted to go abroad.

01:04 In January, Naima had claimed trial at the Sessions Court for failing to comply with

01:08 the notice by not declaring her assets.

01:12 She is currently out on RM250,000 bail and had to surrender her passport to the court

01:18 as part of the bail condition.
